From Sobriety To Recovery: An Addiction Recovery PodcastEarly sobriety, longterm recovery, and 300 episodesEp #300: Seven years of sobriety and 300 episodes later, I've learned some powerful lessons, and the first one is that it's all about progress, not perfection. We don't need to be perfect; it's the progression we seek, and to manifest progress, we must keep showing up. Mindset is everything—how you think determines how you live. Shifting from a fixed to a growth mindset changed everything for me, and it can be for you, too. Emotional resilience? It's your superpower. Life throws challenges, but learning to bounce back without turning to old habits is critical. And sp...2024-09-0751 min

Today we're cruising down Self-Confidence Boulevard, the unsung hero of Sobriety City.

Plot twist: they're in a merry-go-round, building each other up in a spectacular tag-team of confidence. We're gonna turn inward, pulling out our personal user manual. Flipping through our strengths, weaknesses, and values, we uncover authenticity that shines brighter than a disco ball at a...2023-06-0336 min

From Sobriety To Recovery: An Addiction Recovery PodcastGrowth & Fixed Mindset in Language, Beliefs, Addiction, and RecoveryEp #213 - When it comes to sobriety and recovery, your mindset can play a crucial role. If you're holding onto a fixed mindset, you might find yourself viewing setbacks or relapses as personal failures or weaknesses, thinking, "I can't change, this is just who I am." But remember, a lapse is not a relapse, it's not a sign you can't recover, it's just a bump in the road. Recovery isn't a straight path, it's a journey with twists and turns. Now, a growth mindset is what we want to embrace here. Instead of labeling yourself as an "a...2023-05-2556 min

From Sobriety To Recovery: An Addiction Recovery PodcastForgiveness: Why and How to take that JourneyEp #211 - You have decided to forgive, so it just happens, right? HAHA & LOL!! Forgiveness is a journey. Not of a 1000 miles because there is not a preconceived set number of steps, or days, or acts of kindness that can "make" forgiveness happen. It's a mutual connection that fosters understanding, empathy, and love and it takes the time it takes. Forgiveness is a transformative process that promotes emotional well-being, improves physical health, enhances relationships, fosters personal growth, and promotes social harmony. It is important to acknowledge and process emotions such as fear, anger, and sadness in the...2023-05-091h 21

How do you know that your actions work for you and not against you? In today's episode, we dive into calibrating your personal growth and changes on your behavior, not your intentions.

From Sobriety To Recovery: An Addiction Recovery PodcastWonder Twins Activate: The roles of the ego and unconscious mind in addiction and recoveryEp #204 - On this episode, we dive into the role of the ego and unconscious mind in addiction and recovery. We use the metaphor of cooking to explain how the ego is like a spice in the recipe of life. When used in moderation, it can add flavor and zest to our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual meals. However, too much ego can be overpowering and ruin the dish. Similarly, the unconscious mind can be thought of as the underlying ingredients in our mental recipe. It's responsible for our deepest desires, fears, and motivations. 2023-03-1642 min

However, an unbalanced ego can lead to negative consequences such as arrogance, low self-esteem, or anxiety. The unconscious mind, on the other hand, plays a critical role in shaping our thoughts, emotions, and...2023-03-1633 min

The College Success Habits PodcastI have to or I choose to - what’s your energetic motivation?Ep #172 - When you say, "I have to," you take yourself out of choice and possibility and into the seat of disempowerment - like you don't have a choice in your actions. This is not true. You are choosing to do the things you do. Period. Point. Blank.

The College Success Habits PodcastEmotionally Triggered vs GroundedEp #170 - The space between your being stimulate/triggered and the action you take will determine how grounded you are in your emotional intelligence or how many people you might have to apologize to for your actions. That time, from stimulus to action, is going to make or break your career, relationships, and even yourself, because the way you treat you in your own head has a direct correlation to how you behave on the outside. Let's not be the plastic bag, at the whims of the wind, and instead let us develop the rock...2023-02-1625 min

You know how you have felt blocked, like something inside you is holding you back, or just doesn't feel right.

The College Success Habits PodcastPower Words, Identity Statements, Power SentencesEp #165 - Words have meaning. Words have power behind them. We choose to feel the anger of a slur or the happiness of a compliment. Words have meaning, emotions, and feelings behind them because we choose to label them that way. I use power words to fuel me.

Knowing how to separate the facts of a circumstance from your biased thoughts and feelings is essential in stepping into the actual reality of any situation. Just because you think it doesn't make it a fact. Simply having a feeling doesn't mean it is real to anyone else but you. We are not taught how to think and feel in school.

The College Success Habits PodcastAre you taking advice from the wrong peopleEp #163 - You seek advice from people. That is something we as humans do as a habit. The issue you might be finding yourself in is that those you seek advice from may not be un-biased advisors. They have their own experiences, filters, and reasons for giving you the advice they do. In fact, it's going to be very difficult for you to sift through the various opinions you receive when you go asking for advice. Your parents, partner, besties, class-mates, co-workers, preacher, teachers - I mean, even the cashier has their reasons for giving you the...2022-12-2431 min

From Sobriety To Recovery: An Addiction Recovery PodcastGood, Grow, Great! ”Failure” as feedback!Ep #190 - There is no failure, there is only feedback. This is a rule of life I learned in my neuro linguistic programming training. Failure doesn't actually exist. It's a judgement placed on an outcome and is very subjective to each individuals perspective. One person's "failure" is another person's "success." Getting up before noon might be a "failure" to someone who eats 10Ks before sunrise and is a huge "success" for someone who is detoxing or experiencing depression. A more beneficial perspective to experience after anything you do is to shift the judgement of it...2022-12-0838 min

The College Success Habits PodcastStigma Part 1: ”If I can do it, so can you”Ep #160 - Stigmatizing language is pervasive in our societies. When someone compares their life to another's in a way that insinuates they had it tougher or rougher because of their age, race, creed, color, etc. they are comparing themselves and their life to someone else's while deleting out an infinite amount of information that doesn't make the comparison even remotely equal.

"If I can do it, so can you" is one you have undoubtedly heard before. "When I was a kid, I did this and that, and I didn't become an addict," is another I have heard many a time. "You don't even know what a bad childhood is," and, "they had a great childhood, what's their problem?" are others I am very attuned to catching when parents talk...2022-12-0140 min

The College Success Habits PodcastStimulus, Choice, Reaction, ResponseEp #142 - Society is moving away from accepting others for their differences. The shared experiences we are having are seemingly pushing us further apart, rather than drawing us, through curiosity, toward and understanding of our uniqueness and individuality as our shared human experiences interact with one another.
